So apparently people are starting to migrate from Tumblr to Dreamwidth...

I couldn't be happier about this new development. Tumblr's system was never meant for in-depth discussion--or long-form writing of any kind. Not only does Dreamwidth's formatting makes me nostalgic for the days of Livejournal, it's generally easier to keep things you don't like/aren't interested in off your feed, it still has the dumb gifs that made Tumblr fun, etc. I love Dreamwidth already--best of both worlds. I had to dig out my old Livejournal icons. I suppose I'll be cross-posting here for a while.

This has taken a few days since I just got back from driving to the Texas Renaissance Faire. It's the largest in the country, and holy shit, we're going every year now. It's amazing. I finally bought a big belt with lots of loops to add things to, and a fan holster for it because steampunk. And several things for the wedding next year.

Does anyone know any good nerd communities? I'm having a little trouble searching out communities. And if anyone wants to follow me now, I'll likely follow you back. :D

Yes, god, THAT ALONE. I don't have to jump through hoops and refresh xkit and be sure I not put in a link, etc just to RESPOND. My vote has always been for us to go to a livejournal clone like this for that reason. And actually listening to the nerds, even putting a spot for AO3 names? Be still, my heart.
